Nope, I have yet to ever run Wayland. I'm still on good old X. It happened with my 970, it happened with my 1070, and it happened with my 4060. And then I went to XFCE4 with Compiz (with the emerald decorator.) I still have KDE installed and occasionally use some kwhatever app.

Anyway I had this problem with several games, across wine, proton, and proton-ge. Mostly with games that were bitchy about alt-tab. I tried it with and without focus protection, too. But ultimately it just boiled down to being KDE, and I finally found mention of it someplace and then I gave up and switched.

You have a right to protest. They have a right to fire you for it, and have you removed from the premises. In my opinion, you should also not be able to win a retaliation suit in such a case. You and your employer both have rights.

If you don't want employees to protest your behavior, amass a bunch of followers. No doubt you can come up with some way to achieve that through hiring and layoff practices. Just don't be surprised if their work is low-rate.

We should have given them Wyoming or perhaps Oklahoma.

Network equipment often runs some version of Linux, including big iron stuff like Cisco Nexus. And they are running a watchdog, which works similar to a dead-man's-switch in a train engine: If it does not get activated in regular intervals, it restarts vital services or even the whole system.

Right, only stupid assholes (like Cummins) want to do hydrogen combustion engines. It's a senseless waste of efficiency, but if you are an engine company and don't care about anything but profits and the world can go fuck itself, it's what you do.

What I want is something that recognizes stuff, labels it if I look at it long enough, provides links to more info, does translations of written text from signs to books, does measurements of objects... Basically a lot of stuff I can do with my phone already but which would be a lot more convenient without having to use my hands. Look at an engine part and get the right manual page, look at a bolt and get a torque spec...

And it's not a very well done thing, mostly due to the not so stellar resolution even in the middle of the field of view. Works for workload where one doesn't need super fine resolution (e.g.: video editing), but forget about using this with walls of tiny next (not usable for coding, for example).

Another use that some people have experimented and Apple has touted with their "spacial computing" moniker: leaving multiple windows and applet floating virtually around a large real-world space (e.g.: have various control apps for your widgets in the work area, have browser with receipe and cooking timer in your kitchen, etc.) so as you move between real-world space, you get the revelant stuff already open and floating wating for you.

The problem is that, at the price of that Apple asks for the Vision Pro, and at the price one finds electronics on, e.g., AliExpress: for the 3500 bucks that Apple asks for their "Spacial Computer", one can buy 35x sub 100 bucks no-name tablets, and leave actual tablets lying around the real world to have "already opened and ready to use apps" all-over. Meh.

The other thing is, if you know how to make a hybrid, you know how to make an EV. It's not like it's hard to scale up an electric power system. The motor driver is a small challenge, but the rest is just more and or bigger with no real complexity changes. So there is really no excuse for them not being able to make a compelling EV.

Part of hydrogen technology has improved a lot. A partnership between GM and Honda significantly improved fuel cells, mostly in the cost department.

Storage is still terrible, though, which is why it's failing.

Maybe someday someone will solve the hydrogen storage problem in a reasonable way, and then it might take off. But if batteries continue improving as they are then it's going to be even harder for it to catch up.

My impression is that this is more like the Newton, when Apple utterly failed at making a succesful portable/pocket computer, to the point that they abandoned the form factor, and it took Palm to teach a lesson in how to actually make a success in that form factor before Apple made another somewhat less lackluster attempt with the iPhone and iPod Touch (after having seen a demo of the Handspring + modem Springboard).

Also Vision Pro doesn't have a killer app.
(The "extra screen while on the move" is very limited in practice due to resolution limitation of VR).
It's clearly more of an early prototype to start exploring the platform, that somehow marketing stumbled upon and decided to push through. As you said it:

Systemd caused me problems I couldn't reasonably troubleshoot without debugging systemd, so I left Ubuntu and derivatives for Devuan, where I am back on sysvinit. Good riddance to that poorly conceived and even more poorly written trash.

Sadly, those pesky physics stand in the way.
(No controllable way to "project black", meaning you need some blocking/filtering;
No practical way to project a picture without at least some optics: all the alternative things - like waveguides - which were tried turned out rather crappy)

There are some attempts at making smaller headsets (e.g.: some like Bigscreen are trying to be as light as an immersive VR can be) or less isolating (e.g.: stuff like Lynx has roughly similar optic to the AVP, but the mask is optional it's also usable with peripheral vision unblocked), but all these are still somewhat clunky, and still cost a lot due to manufacturing scale (compared to, e.g., Quest).
Note that they still cost a fraction of Apple's turd and also weight a lot less.

Did they fix in version 6 the KDE bug that was causing some programs running under wine to only run when they were not in the foreground? I left plasma 5 for XFCE over that. As a side benefit, Thunar has sane drag and drop behavior.

In that case no agreement longer than a couple pages should be enforceable since it's arduous to comprehend the full import if you are not a lawyer.
